Anxiety

Anxiety feels like it sneaks up on you. All of a sudden you're having racing thoughts that you can't quiet, feeling restless and can't sit still, difficulty sleeping and feeling jittery. I have worked with clients struggling with anxiety for over a decade and know many skills to help you manage anxiety and give you day-to-day relief. However, I also treat the underlying causes of anxiety, helping you uncover and heal issues from your past that may be bringing the unease to the surface.

For many of us, experiencing changes in our schedules and lives causes our systems to experience stress. That can look like increased anxiety, depression, or relationship tension. Living through the pandemic brought many of these issues to the forefront for folks. Whether you are dealing with relationship transitions, work transitions, health transitions, or phase of life transitions, I am here to dive deep and help you make the changes that are important to you.

I work with climate- and eco-anxiety, as well as anxiety in general.

Anxiety has touched all of us at some point. When you learn that anxiety is a result of projecting yourself too far into the future, you can learn to control it by utilizing mindfulness exercises and learning to be present in the now.

I work with clients to manage their anxiety symptoms and improve overall functioning. Together, we explore the root causes of anxiety and develop coping-skills to use in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques are often used in practice.

Anxiety, panic, social anxiety, health anxiety, stress, burn-out, perfectionism, people-pleasing have components of anxiety. We can help you decrease symptoms of anxiety/panic to live a more fulfilling and happier life. You might have anxiety if you: *Are always worrying about something *Feel something bad will happen *Jump to worst case scenario *Are afraid to make wrong decisions *Have trouble turning off your brain at night *Feel anxious in social situations *Worry about your health

You’re realizing that no matter how much you try to control the anxiousness, your situation is just too much and you end up avoiding social activities, or not speaking up at work, or overthinking what you’ll say. We help people seeking anxiety counseling in Atlanta process sources of their stress and reduce their anxiety. We help people work through the thinking patterns and behavior patterns that impact their ability to feel content.

Are you worried and cant seemed to control your thoughts?

I have helped people of all ages work through anxiety by teaching specific methods and techniques to help stop the " what if " thinking from taking over their lives. I have trained in Acceptance and Committment Therapy as well as DBT to apply cognitive reframes, with the intent to stop the unworkable thinking and actions that feed the worry. Building ability to tolerate distress, and find positive coping strategies to master their negative responses to stressors.

Your anxiety wants to keep you safe, but it ends up keeping you hostage. Your anxiety might say "you shouldn't have said that, be careful, you're way too much, what if something bad happens, your partner is rethinking the relationship!" While we need some anxiety in order to survive, I use CBT among other modalities to help give you the tools to take back your life from the bully that anxiety can be.

Anxiety can be experienced in mental, emotional, and physical realms. We will work on self-regulation, re-framing habitual thoughts and beliefs, and on healing deeper attachment wounds.

I help you learn coping skills with excessive worry, nervousness, or stress; intense discomfort in social settings (social anxiety); sudden and intense feelings of panic (panic disorder).

I use CBT to analyze anxiety and we work together to identify the triggers

Anxiety is fairly common and absolutely treatable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often the first approach to bring quick relief. However, some individuals also benefit from a deeper look within to understand his or her symptoms. I have worked with generalized anxiety and individuals suffering from panic attacks.

I use a range of body/mind tools to help empower my clients to get a hold of their anxiety. I am currently in training to become an EMDR provider, use tapping/EFT, as well as traditional and experiential methods.

We will work together using mindfulness and body awareness, while addressing unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and self-talk. As anxiety decreases, you may realize that the anxiety is pointing to underlying issues that no longer serve you.

Helping individuals cope with excessive worry and nervousness that is causing stress and intense discomfort in their own social setting. To help those with sudden and intense feeling of panic.

Anxiety is a common psychological experience that can feel debilitating at times. Whether you experience occasional symptoms of anxiety, or have anxious thoughts on a regular basis, or panic attacks, I work with my clients to identify personal strategies to dismantle the power that anxiety can hold over our lives. I think of anxiety as a mechanical process that can be approached and systematically broken down until we can manage stressors safely and sustainably.
